^^^ Great news !
... CONGRATS !!!
bravo
It must be very hard for the Republicans to swallow that this came under Obama's watch!
Good riddance.
I know! muah ha ha!!It must be very hard for the Republicans to swallow that this came under Obama's watch!
No need to shed tears for Bin Laden, but we should be careful of what we wish for....
My wish is that people would not celebrate...
It seems that a lot of those celebrating tonight are folks who were jsut kids 10 years ago and have grown up with the weight of 9/11 and endless war on top of them.
Personally the news brought me a feeling of huge relief, and am surprised by the really emotional reaction I had to Obama's speech. When I first saw the news flash while watching the TV that the POTUS was going to speak late on a Sunday night it seemed that we'd hear nothing good.
I don't think this will change a heck of a lot, but perhaps the removal of the spectre of Bin Laden will bring about some cosmic alteration in the American psyche.
And wouldn't you know: Donald Trump & The Apprentice got bumped during it's last climactic minutes.
Just think: OBL AND The Donald in one fell swoop! Gotcha!!!
Three guesses who marks the occasion with this:
I am really surprised that Obama didn't insist he be brought to Manhattan to stand trial here in New York. Seriously.
UPDATE: The teleprompter is speaking *yawn* The teleprompter is taking credit for the killing. Every other word is I.
"We are not at war with Islam."
"He was not a Muslim Leader"
Sheesh ........ the man is insane.
I was 14 when 9/11 happened and I witnessed it first hand from JC and remember that whole day vividly. I went down to our cities memorial at Grand St and the Hudson River tonight and I started to cry out of sheer joy and relief. It feels like a weight coming off. The most remarkable thing tonight was that people started walking to our memorial praying, sitting in silence, and celebrating as well. Completely organic coming together to the site of so much grief to come and in change experience joy and relief. This is a historic memorable night and I am celebrating. I lost friends that day and have lived with this grief and a world at war; this is a time for jubulation.
I feel this 10th anniversary will have much different tone with this news.

WHERE it went down.
As noted by Andrew Sullivan:
The eighth anniversary of "Mission Accomplished." To the day.
The 66th anniversary of the anouncement of the death of Adolph Hitler. To the day.
And ...
The NYT has its obit up. It's seven pages long.
I can't wait to hear their comments.Originally Posted by londonlawyer
